Hey there folks,
The thread that is posted about "What is the best P-40 mould" has got me thinking. What Flying Tiger liveries and pilots haven't been made?

We have a good P-40B and P-40E mould so Corgi and FOV should be able to make any of the major liveries for pilots that flew over China whether with the actually Tigers, or the 14th airforce afterwards. Anyone have suggestions on who should be covered? (Pictures if you can.)

Thanks

I want several from this excellent book from Histoire and Collections
Particularly any will do for me from the 3 AVG Squadrons deployed in China at the time.

That is really a tough one to answer their are so many good flight leaders & pilots of the Flying Tigers.

I may be the only one here, but I'd like a 1/72nd Boyington P-40 to go with the Corsair I have with his markings( well sorta). I also like the early war markings with US Army on the lower wing surface.

Have any of you guys ever seen the pic of a Flying Tiger pilot standing on his airplane with a real Tiger? I am trying to track this pic down.

There are so many out there even in color! Go to the WWII in Color links posted on here from another thread. You'll find some there, and good luck!
